A flaw was found in the implementation of transport.py in Paramiko, which did not properly check whether authentication was completed before processing other requests. A customized SSH client could simply skip the authentication step.

This flaw is a user authentication bypass in the SSH Server functionality of Paramiko. Where Paramiko is used only for its client-side functionality (e.g. paramiko.SSHClient), the vulnerability is not exposed and thus cannot be exploited.

This update also fixes an issue where Ed25519 auth key decryption raised an unexpected exception when given a unicode password string (typical in Python 3).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
